There will be no “shhhing” in the Oliver Library on Tuesday December 20. Instead, there will be the sound of joyful music. In fact, you might even see the librarians singing along to the harmonies of piano and saxophone.
Join the Friends of the Library this Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon for a Christmas twist on their usual third-Tuesday coffee morning. 
Music, singing, and refreshments. Carol sheets provided (see? there will be some reading at the library!)
Note: This is a great time to pick up some books to see you through the Christmas holidays when the library will be closed. Happy reading – and singing!
